Strana 239 - Jam pridem Syrus in Tiberim defluxit Orontes, Et linguam et mores et cum tibicine chordas Obliquas, nec non gentilia tympana secum Vexit, et ad Circum jussas prostare puellas.
Strana 236 - Ut, quod non esses, esse putaret amor, Et color est totiens roseo collatus Eoo, Cum tibi quaesitus candor in ore foret: Quod mihi non patrii poterant avertere amici, Eluere aut vasto Thessala saga mari.

Strana 205 - O PAULUS ! vex my grave with tears no more ; No prayers unlock the portals of the tomb ; When once the dead have trod the infernal floor, Barred stand the adamantine doors of doom. Though the dark hall's dread king would hear thy prayer, 'Twere vain : deaf shores will drink thy tears the while. Prayers move high heaven : but, pay the boatman's fare, The drear gate closes on the shadowy pile. So sang the mournful trumpets when my head Sank on the bier before the ruthless fires. What then availed me...
Strana 218 - Orphea detinuisse feras et concita dicunt flumina Threicia sustinuisse lyra; saxa Cithaeronis Thebas agitata per artem sponte sua in muri membra coisse ferunt...
